How is it that our day gets away from us before we know it? It is time for the kids to get home from school and you still haven’t had time for a shower? It happens to all of us. Here are a few great tips to manage your day and not let your day manage you!
1. Prioritize your day. Do your three most important tasks first before anything else.
2. Plan your day. Schedule time for the things you need to do.
3. Use a timer and block periods of time to get things done. The timer will allow you to get lost in your project without losing track of time. It will help keep you on task.
4. Schedule time to follow-up with friends or clients. Put it in your plan.
5. Take short breaks throughout the day to reenergize.
6. Make a list of all the things you have to do. This will allow you to focus on what you’re doing and get the rest of the things you have to do out of your head.
I hope just a few of these tips will help you manage your day more efficiently! Sometime we just need to be reminded what to do so that we can get back to our regular routines and learn to do a better job of prioritizing!
Happy Planning! Bridges
